PTA Home Film Festival Transcript: Punch Drunk Love

[modage]

two suggestions:

one/ you could continue down the list of directors doing a movie or two of each, which might be interesting since not everyone can agree on all of those directors, it might prove for a more interesting LIVE debate rather than just (wow. how great is pta, type of thing).  wes anderson, then cameron crowe, then coen bros. etc.

or

two/ have like a classics type of thing, since a lot of people havent seen tons of great foreign and american classics.  it might help people out, instead of watching fight club for the 100th time, to see something new.  but then, the talking might take away from the film....so maybe just the site should have suggested movies to view each month and then since everyone will watch them, everyone will have a reason to discuss.

just an idea. either way...or neither way. i dont care.

have any of you overseas worked at video stores and gotten 'timecode copy's of movies a month beofre they're released?).

In High School, the store I worked at would get copies that would run studio advertising and purchase info and the bottom of the screen....it really wasn't that bad ....it only lasted a couple of minutes and would only pop up 4-5 times through the movie....kinda similar, I think.

But they would have to be titles everyone has, or can get access to. If there's no foreign film forum here and the discussions for foreign film and American classics directors don't go past a few pages, I highly doubt all of us would have copies of them, and not all members have a video rental store that would stock them close by.

netflix!

but in theory??  like i said, anything to expand the horizons of this board i am for.
